Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Mini Chop Saw!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2020
- Once Adam finished making his mini bandsaw, he was inspired to try his hand at making more custom tools and developing his own machining skills. The mini machine vise he previously made finds its home in an awesome mini chop saw, which actually takes Adam a whole week to design, sketch, and build piece by piece. After a huge amount of trial and error, Adam is so pleased with the finished build--it might be his favorite One Day Build ever!

With a name like Savage you must defend it. Next time you are in Ireland Adam we will do a bareknuckle.
Still no captions on that video either.
@Adam Savage's Tested leaving flux dripped all over that beautiful vise will make it not so beautiful.
Hey Adam, as a construction student in college with a interest in the safety of work I was interested in why you weren't wearing safety glasses. So I did some digging and saw your video on the Westworld face shield. From there I had a question: why not just wear glasses with safety lenses? And if you already do, why don't you also have the safety flaps that are necessary with them?
Not judging just interested. Thanks!
Next time on tested, Adam miniturizes a table saw, because miniturize all the tools!!!! :P
It's amazing how much more personal this feels with out a professional film crew
It really is. It shows is good nature and smarts. And also shows his mistakes. Which is fantastic.
I it ik wuooyl u I you ili ya
Thats what his sister said when she was eight.
It's true. It feels so much more like you are just chilling in his shop while he's working and chattering on about his process. And then he gets super excited when he remembers that he has the perfect tool for a particular operation lol. BTW I would pay GOOD money to get to just chill and chat with Adam while he makes stuff. That would blow my freakin' mind. But even just having a front row seat through the computer screen is a damn good alternative! Yeah, I kinda like the more personal Adam-operating-the-camera-himself approach better as well.
Static camera position is what gives it the feel. Even the slightest pan, zoom, or motion gives it a manufactured and polished look whereas vlog culture and the "confidential confession" portions of reality TV shows where the cast recounts how they were feeling or what they were thinking at a particular time as a way to drive the narrative. As Adam would say "This is just a long way of saying... it's the static camera."
"Welcome to Adam's one day build"
*two minutes later...*
"So about five days have passed"
gtoss chddy how many of these shitty yt profiles are there
Lulz
@@Ellehsdee wtf
@@damiannichols1250 look it up...
"this took three weeks to put together" lmao
I love how personal this is. This feels like we are in the shop with Adam watching everything in real time. It almost feels like behind the scenes on Mythbusters.
Those shots of his notebook/sketchbook were amazing. I hope he publishes them someday, seeing as he’s certainly got many of them (the one he showed was way to thin to have 30-40 years of tinkering in it).
It would be the absolute be-all-end-all for anyone doing propmaking/machining/anything under the sun.
Everyone else is going crazy in lockdown and Adam’s just building a miniature version of his shop
Next month: Atom Savage's One Day Builds
What is this? A shop for ants?
@@FacePalmEXEHow can people learn to make, when they can't even fit inside the building?!
Imagine in a month when he realizes all the new tools needs boxes to store them in
Not me. I'm allowed to go out and get my haircut and get a soda from the convenient store. And guess what? We aren't overrun in death and sickness like everyone said there would be. Imagine that.
Everyone else: buys a tool
Adam: makes a tool to make a tool to customise a tool that replaces the original tool.
Toolmaking is so the way to be able to do anything, though... it's so rewarding.
Machinists in a nutshell
I’m I I
Toolception!😎
I love being able to tool make
Awesome Adam, you're one of us, and by that I mean, the more intense the task the more tongue get shown. Great build nice work.
52:26 😛 tongue waiving task. Won't work without the tongue exposed, from Adams days in the illuminati.
Taking a tool you love and moding it to make it better has to be one of the most intoxicating and rewarding experiences in my opinion.
I actually like these "intimate" episodes better than the ones with camera crew etc.
Camera crew be like "hey my kids gotta eat, keep quite!"
Not gonna lie, id watch an 8 hour stream of just Adam doing one of his builds, just him a camera and his tools
I also really like these more as well, but it must tremendously slow him down in the workshop having to worry about the cameras, its just a level of thought he'd likely be far more productive without
And also Adam sometimes positions the camera wrong or doesn't shoot at all.
I love these too! But the camera crew unloads loats from Adam's table.
Also I imagine, that the camera crew then passes footage to the editors, so Adam doesn't have to send the files either. It is a small hassle compared to positioning the cam every simgle time, but there is more around the filming that the camera crew does than just pointing the camera. Lighting, focus and other checks as well, ofcourse.
I like this type more as well, it feels a bit more like I’m the workshop with him while he’s screwing around with some idea that’s just popped into his head
Love this. Keep them up Adam!
Already mentioned but around 34:00 to 38:00 the scene is repeated.
Glad it wasn't a glitch in the matrix lol
I'm sure that's the second time there's a repeated clip, I think he mills out the arrow twice too
JohnyDL it’s happened in a few of his videos
@@sodorflubbs5000 yup but I meant second time in the same video which is usually a lot rarer
@@johnydl, OK I thought something was off, I was thinking he had to make the arrow twice!
Anyone who uses a Bridgeport mill to build a vice for a $4.99 Craigslist Chopsaw gets a thumbs up from me.
Adam: "I don't wanna reinvent the wheel here..."
Then goes on to basically reinvent this particular wheel.
Man coulda bought a proxxon and had it shipped faster. Good skill building though.
The mechanics of the saw, itself, were untouched, which is the wheel he was referring to
When Adam said "I dont want to reinvent the wheel here" , I dont know about you guys but I would find it hilarious watching Adam reinvent the wheel.
They did, they made them squares.
Mythbusters, season 10, episode 3. Would love to see him take another shot at it.
Around 36:00 I figured I was having déjà vu, or maybe a stroke.
Had the same thing XD. I thought that I accidentally bumped somthing and rewinded a bit... but hsi happy dance 'It's gettin' kinda luvely!' gave it away XD
The editors shit the bed a bit on that one.
Holy cow, same thing. I had to check the comments to make sure I wasn't going crazy
Working from home, no one to check whats in the cup
Yea... it happened in the vice making video also.
The detail in the drawings and plans for this build was my favorite part. I'm blown away, how did you learn how to do that? I just have so many questions on how your mind works, thank you for making these videos.
I've been a machinist for 10 years and this is one of the coolest little machines i've ever seen. Great work!
As an old mechanic who can build lots of stuff Ive always wanted your skills,
We had a machinist friend growing up, we build a legitimate drag car, He builds one that makes ours look like kids made it, Ha ha!
30:12 Adams drawing of the vise ... would make a great T shirt .......
Here, at 52:28, we see the emergence of the elusive Savage tongue. Notice how it looks around, checking for the presence of the Hyneman before doing the happy dance of concentration.
Yeah, it was awkward, but i couldn't stop looking. Lol!

I build big machines for the baking industry. That Mini Chop Saw is way better than using a die grinder do so many applications. Not just model building but working on small parts on big machines. Adam keep up the motherhood of invention. There is always a necessity!
I worked for a company a few years ago that needed lots of tiny stainless steel tubes cut up. We could never get a consistent product with hand tools. I decided to buy about 10 of these little harbor freight saws, rip them apart and completely modify them for cutting tubes. This is bringing back memories. And he's my favorite engineer.
"how do you cut an allen wrench?"
...idk, some kind of cutoff tool with a vice might help ^^
It's great seeing someone so articulate talking about the joy of making tools.
Making things is one of the most rewarding things in life. But making things that will be used to make things is special.
I'm just a hobbyist maker. By my career is being a software engineer who makes tools for other engineers - and it's the same kind of joy. You're making things that make it possible to make more things. And there's nothing else quite like that.
If you folks ever want to talk to a math/CS/engineering nerd, please let me know. I'd love to have a chance to chat with Adam!
Same here. I'm not a physical maker, but I think we're all one in the same. I enjoy creating systems that are efficient and elegant, and programming is where I apply those efforts. It's all about automation and utility for me.
You are going to love This Old Tony channel
Mark Chu-Carroll, I took my machinist apprenticeship at Landis Tool Co. We made grinders for all kinds of industries but mainly for auto manufacturers, crankshaft grinders, cam grinders, piston grinders etc. It was very satisfying to watch one of those big machines get built and plumbed and wired and ran in by the Machine Inspectors and then broke down and put on a truck and sent to Ford or GM or Caterpillar.
What about making things that help people make things that help people make things?
I feel like this is a great example of "with fire you can make tools, with tools you can make complex tools, with complex tools you can make precision tools, with precision tools you can make anything." Making tools with tools!
It’s amazing watching someone who is able to take that much pride in his work. This is by far one of my favorite channels on TH-cam!
10 years of using a saw and Adam discovers how to change the blade. That's a good blade.
it has a lot of professional metal cutting machines ... I don't know what that 2 $ thing is good for...
@@coctordoripol3844 I think he usually uses the wood/plastic blades and recently remembered it has an abrasive wheel too. If you’ve ever had to cut 100 pieces of 1/4”x1/4” spruce to the exact same length for a model airplane wing build with a razor saw, you’d appreciate one of these
"Blue Dykem" mentioned.. somewhere Alec Steele's head pops up :D
Better than Red Dykem, if you understand the reason. ;P
Bluuuuuuuuuuue Dyyyyyyyyyyyykem!
What is best in life? Making wonderful and unique things with your own hands .... and blowing stuff up from time to time.
Oh my god. That last bit of humility, showing your do-overs. It really made me feel good, it's not just me. I screw up constantly. I'm working on a HO train layout. It's kicking my butt.
Beautiful work mate :)
What’s up Chris!! Idk why your comment isn’t flooded with likes but you’re a damn legend in my eyes! Keep up the amazing work!
I thought of you immediately when I saw the vice at the beginning of the video.
Who do I blame for the mini lathe collecting dist in my garage? Me or me thinking I had the patients to make a clock. Just wanted to say that you inspire people.
@@christ938 If you're looking to sell...
What are the odds I was about to check your channel for new videos for the first time in six months I love your vids on the Antikythera mechanism
35:30 you've used this clip 2 times 😁
And yeah, it's lovely 👌
I thought my mind was playing tricks on me for a second there!
@@immanismjr5606 me too lol 🤫
@@andybaldman arghh :)
I thought I was LOSING MY SHIT
Instantly came to the comment section to find if anyone else seen it
the best feeling in the world is watching someone make a screw and threads for the first time and watching them see it work... god that thats such a good feeling
Adam, I was born in 1950. I've always been able to fix almost anything within reason, but it has always been a challenge because I cannot always envision the end product from the beginning. Your ability to draft something beginning to end BEFORE you start start is really amazing! Love your videos!!! BTW really miss Myth Busters!!
I was thinking in the beginning: "Good thing he has two, then if he spends a long time making the improved one, he will still have one to cut things with" ... then he takes them both apart, lol.
Well, "thinking" is not really working out for is it?.....lolololol
This is why we love him. 😃
If only Adam had a second chopsaw machine he could use to cut the pin!
Yeah I didn't understand why he tore both of them down.
shhhhhhhhh
Some day spare parts and a new motor
Or the bandsaw he modified last week. I do believe he had both chop saws in pieces. But it is funny lol.
Yes! When he took them both apart, I said to myself "He's GOING to need one to finish the build." 😄
Brilliant: finding aesthetic solutions for problems that do not exist! Awesome video.
Steel, aluminium, (i'm English) ,brass and bronze together. Somehow they make a functional thing into a work of art ! Bravo !
Find somebody who loves you as much as Adam loves his mini vice. 💜
*Himself
@@shotgun2a bad bait
Adam not .05 seconds into a One Day Build: So its been 5 days.
That screw vise you made has got to be one of the cutest, best looking, well machined things I've seen.
You could of course put a new motor in there, machine a new case (something a little more solid, paint it black) and replace all the screws and switches with brass. Orange would look pretty neat too.
It's always a treat to see Adam pull something out from a prior build - so excited to see that portable soldering tower in action!
Is this the beginning of an entire series where Adam miniaturizes his entire shop?
Today we're going to make a miniature Tory Belleci, to go with our miniature Jamie Hyneman that we made last week.
Nah he's making these mini tools to make a mini shrink ray so he can shrink all his tools
The way it “tore” through that butter soft brass, I don’t think my dremmel has to worry about being replaced any time soon.
It just kinda worried the brass into submission.
I'm with Dan. I was thinking I would go to HF and get one of those until I watched how slowly it cut something so small and soft. I will wait till Adam figures out
how to put a more robust motor in it before buying it. Meanwhile, the Dremmel will have to do.
@@gregfoster8914 Adam should've made a dual groove pulley to give the cutoff wheel more torque for metals. Run the original groove for plastics and wood.
Adam has inspired me to be who I am today as an adult since i was like 6 years old. I mean, he has been one of the BIGGEST inspirations for me in my whole life and that is true even today as an adult...
This has to be my favourite one day build. You can feel the enthusiasm!
When he's milling the part around 20 min, does the same thing play twice? or is it just me
I've had the milling part and the it's getting kinda lovely ditty twice so far as I watch.
Theres a couple times where a clip is 100% repeated.
videogame1291 thats machining for you lol
Glitches in the Matrix.
You're right. Also, when he was milling the acrylic arrow, he either messed up one piece and started over, or showed the same milling twice.
Adam's joy at creating things is so wholesome.
Love your One day Builds. Share them with my son (who is a AWS certified Welder) but is now working in the Company he works for in their Fabrication Shop (pulled from field welding) learning new equipment (Break Press, Lathe, Mill, etc). The STUFF you need to know for a successful Metal Business.
Wish I had just a fraction of your energy, skill set and insight.
Can't imaging what it's like to be able to build or re-build about anything you can think of or see.
Love watching this. Thanks for sharing!
In moments like "dueling screwdrivers" Adam makes me feel like it's okay to be my strange self. All the silliness is so very enjoyable. It often seems as if my brain is at odds with myself, at best a minor annoyance, at worst an internal cacophony of chaos.
Seeing him organize, thrive, and be exceedingly successful with his chaos is inspiring and motivating. I have an immense amount of gratitude for the entire Tested team for what you do and thank you Adam for taking the initiative to film and the confidence to leave in your mistakes.
loving the editing on this one, mainly where Adam is adjusting the camera or lighting lol and also the snapshot at 7:52
Joey edited this! We'll let him know! Thanks for your comment.
Also the "it's getting lovely" doubled up. 😂
@@tested There are a couple scenes that were doubled up.. literally watched the same thing twice. You should check that out.
@@Dont6x9Panic not doubled in the first one he had the black based in the second one he had the silver based
@@1BigBen, It's the same base in both clips, 35:08 & 37:01. Admit it, like the rest of us, you didn't mind watching it twice!
I had no idea this video would be so enjoyable! Especially the teardown and rebuild at the end. Watching Adam take it from Knolled parts to working saw was SO satisfying.
That brought a smile to my face seeing how happy you were with the finished product. Well done!
This is for anyone: when you make a tiny vise and bring it home do you put it in your pocket or let it ride in the passenger seat?
with seatbelts
pocket ... he's on a one wheel
Well I don’t know what I would do with a tiny vise on the way home..... but I know what I do with my French fries. I buckle them up.
The next one day built might be a mini vice carrying case.
Pocket. We all have vises, but they're a private subject...
Adam, I don’t know if you’ll see this but I hope you do!
When the day comes to replace the motor in the saw, consider building from aluminium a new upper section to replace the plastic. When you had the saw apart, it appeared to be quite simple in design and would be relatively easy to fabricate. A perfect set up for another one day build! You could consider adding different sized pulleys similar to a drill press so you could change the speed of the cutting disc if you needed slower or faster speeds. An auto tensioner could be done up easy enough as well.. so many ideas! Thank you for your videos and inspiring all of us to take on new projects and always learn new skills.
I was thinking near the end of the video, an upper rebuild with an air powered mini die grinder as the core could be really cool.
I was just thinking the middle positioned handle is annoying, a side mounted L handle (on the load side, not the cut side) would give you much more clearance for light to see what you are cutting (as the handle could be completely removed and replaced with a shorter clear guard), more angles to grab and lower the blade from, and give you more control or more power depending on where you use the handle from.
This of course would then open up room for more attachments by giving you a flat front to build onto.
that cutter motor is a commodity 5,000 rpm sewing machine motor.
So as I was listening and kind of watching this as I was takening apart and putting together my Creality Ender 3 3-D printer (working on cable management). When I heard Adam said "it's good to take apart a machine and put it back together you learn a lot about it" Or something to that effect. Really made my day To hear him say that.
'Tool maker' is the ultimate skill. It's what we do, some to a very high standard. I love the idea of a change in ethos.
Felt like I should give Mr. Savage a few moments with his new Vice.
Mini chop saw from Harbor Freight: $40
Custom vice and stand: Priceless.
One of the things i love about Adam is the fact that no matter how good he's gotten at the things he does, he's always excited and happy when he makes something neat.
Would love to just spend a day in the shop learning from this legend. You made my childhood interest grow substantially. Worlds happy to have Adam
Me: I'm bored...
YT: Adam Savage's Tested has uploaded a video.
Me: Perfection
The attention to detail here is brilliant, and it's so good to see Adam Savage be inspired by Clickspring once again.
You're a fanatic, Adam and we love you for it !!
The energy you radiate from the fabrication of your vise is the energy everyone deserves to find in themselves. Fantastic and inspiring -- and all born from a cheap saw.
I can see no one's talking about the elephant in the room...
It's time for adam to recreate a working mechanical watch...
Obviously the tools will need to be made as well..
looking forward to the five disc Blu-ray set....
good work Adam..
Clicksavage
Let's be honest; we know Adam is capable of making a better version of his $8000 Omega Seamaster. 160 years of Swiss watchmaking expertise got nothin' on our boi!
@Gear Jammer yeah that's more of a clickspring thing and even then, that's probably still to specialized.
@Gear Jammer you just need the parts dimension rest is assembly soo he could make it with time .professionals would probably make it 10 times faster but he can do it i think
I'm still waiting for a mini C&C that has the accuracy to maintain proper gear depth for a mechanical movement.
5:39 as a tinkerer, there's something about that tiny little pop you hear after dislodging a factory-installed screw that brings me joy.
This is very inspirational Adam and I really look up to you seeing I think we have a lot in common. Keep these 1 day builds coming I’m obsessed!!
i just spent an hour watching you make a mini chop saw and ive got to say i was hooked the entire time good job adam keep up the amazing work
I’ve said this before and I’ll say this again, I love these isolation projects. It’s incredibly soothing to watch without a camera crew with constant swaying back n forth, cutscene after cutscene after cutscene that can drive a normal person into a seizure. This and the mini bandsaw are my absolute favorites. I can watch it everyday in my downtime.
I love seeing Chris’ influences on Adam. I consider Adam to be a master model builder and yet he has learned to much from Chris. Adam is a life-long learner and it’s inspiring.
@@timothycoffen You want the TH-cam channel 'Clickspring'. th-cam.com/channels/worsKCR-Sx6R6-BnIjS2MA.html

wtf is chris
Man, I love watching these videos, I am an aspiring mechanical and electrical engineer, and I love everything Adam is doing in these videos and I learn something new in each one that I write down and then I save the video. I don't think Adam will see this, but man, you are one of my engineering heroes and I love watching you work.
I completely agree with the taking apart your machines thing. For me it's more my tech gear, but the principle stands. Taking apart and re-assembling anything is an intimate act that familiarizes you with the thing in so many ways. It can simply make using it feel better, since you know how its working, it makes fixing and maintaining it better and easier for the same reasons. It's something that makes me appreciate the thing more, especially when I can change or modify something about it to make it work better for me. Even something as simple as taking apart a console, or a MacBook, that is put together very well and getting to its motherboard to remove the heatsink and replace the thermal paste. It's a small modification that will likely increase the longevity of the machine, if not allow it to perform better. And the act of fully disassembling it and re-assembling it really makes it feel like its YOUR machine, and not just something that you came to possess. I strongly recommend taking apart anything that you have the capacity to. Even if just to clean it. ESPECIALLY to clean it!
32:40 Come on, you have a lathe! Get in touch with This Old Tony, he might be able to help you with using the time travel function on it.
That feature is only available on English Lathes made before 1978. By 1981 as a cost saving measure needed gearing was replaced.
When he mentioned cutting it to size I automatically thought of the lathe first. Probably watching too much my mechanics in my case.
It's hardened though, maybe doesn't want to blunt his lathe tools
And while he's at it, talk to AVE about using cameras, I've learned a sure way to get it to focus on what you want is to yell "Focus you f***!"
@@sergarlantyrell7847 hmmm someone watches the same as me
I LOVE this episode. I’m a tinkerer and one dream of mine is to have a ship of my own to give life to my mind’s coolest creations. ✌🏼😎
love the close-ups, the quiet progress of the saw, so satisfying somehow, thanks
I love being able to see all the building. All the thought process and engineering that goes into it is awesome. This is the stuff we do in robotics and it’s amazing
'Savage' would make a great brand for tools ❤

Beautiful toolmaking! As a machinist I love seeing you getting more into precision work.
There is *nothing* like human ingenuity! Bravo!!
After three weeks of engineering, assembly (sped up] in 25 seconds. Brilliant!
adam: i want to utilize this structure i dont want to reinvent the wheel
me: awww damn
Wonder if Alec Steele knows you can get spray-on Blue Daikom
Literally had the same thought 🤣
I also had the same thought. I miss UK Alec Steele but I respect the hustle.
I would love for someone to replace the label of a Red daikom spray can with one of a blue one and send it to him...
Palerider you chaos agent! XD
A collaboration between him and Adam would be legendary.
about 7-8 years ago i bought one myself to cut extruded aluminum to make a skeletonized PC chassis for bitcoin mining. went through a couple blades, but it worked wonderfully, hadnt used it since til recently to cut a pile of oddball dowel pins. glad to see im not the only one who appreciates this little workhorse.
There's not much more satisfying then building your tools to build your tools to make your projects.
I made three nice quality bongs out of tropical drink flasks that my wife brought back from Marti gras,
That was pretty enjoyable, and this is coming from a guy who makes tools with tools!
42:06 - tongue-out accuracy activated!
Lmao I thought I was only one who did this
I found the tongue activation at 52:24 to be quite something.
that's rather disorienting for me
If that's how he kisses women, we may have just discovered why it took so long for him to get a wife.
Second time watching this vid, and it's still so impressive. I own this saw myself, and did a much simpler mod just to add a stop (like you'd find on a lumber chop saw) and also a catcher for the tinier cut parts. But this is so beyond next-level, exactly the kind of stuff we come here to see
Enthusiasm and expertise to create an easy to use, precise little machine. I absolutely love it.
love watching him working.. very inspiring and also soothes my troubles away.
Adam - I've had these for years.
Also Adam - I just learned how to change the blade.
my takeaway: ILM and I use harbor freight tools, I'm basically a Hollywood special effects genius too
All the tool snobs on the internet are idiots. Watch any channel where a working pro makes top of the line stuff and you'll see plenty of import tools.
@@horstrj if creativity is the mother of invention, I think budget it the mother of creativity
So does Gotham Garage, and they build museum quality stuff.
This is my favorite video of yours for both content and product.
You know you wanna make it a sliding compound with a beefier motor.
Well done Savage! Bravo !
This is awesome! Making things that make things is always worth while because the finished product has infinite potential.
Who stayed the whole hr & 8 mins 🙋🏻♂️ I did !!! Has anyone noticed that Adam always has his tongue out when focusing on a small piece. Lol awesome build I think I’m going to buy this tiny chop saw too and mod it.
23:24 loved that dueling bajos reference. I love it!!
not only impressed with the final product but impressed about the taking apart and not losing any parts!!!
That is, without a shred of doubt, the most *adorable* vise i will see
I feel like the saw itself isn’t worthy of the stand/vice
Yup, the vice is an absolute overkill for the saw. He replaced everything except the shittiest part that introduces most imprecision while also being hopelessly underpowered.
The base and vise are great though, I give him that
The saw doesnt look bad but its super underpowered
@@gcar5214 He should make new gears for it ... could increase the speed a little ... lol
His band saw started out with a quality tool...I feel he should take the base and modify a Angle Grinder to pivot and spring back up. And that pivot point, on the current tool has to be a point of variation on cut angle.
I think he realises that. I would personally want a casing that is made of fibreglass reinforced plastic and have the part that holds the blade more precise but I don't know how you would do that from home. Replace the motor with just a better, slightly more powerful motor. Also a better quality switch and probably wiring.
Love your one day builds!
Watching Adam Savage work, and describe his work, is like watching a wild animal in its natural habitat. It's beautiful and just feels right
